[QUOTE=Daithi Lacha] I just saw a truck on Friday for a service that goes around picking up dog poo (how much money can there be in that?).\ [/QUOTE] I don’t know about the potenital income but I do know there is/was at least one enterprising outfit that sells franchises for the doggy doo pickup industry. ---

[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan] Nope, central Wisconsin. And I was surprised that “S\*\*t” had become acceptable as advertising in our rather conservative locale, where many still object to newspaper or billboard ads for ‘family planning’ because it would be embarrassing to have to explain to the children what that meant. [/QUOTE] It passes because everyone poops, but as we all well know, nobody has sex, ever. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan] If that’s so, and if noone else can empty my septic tank besides your company, I will certainly hire you. Just don’t breath on me. Or touch me. And don’t smile at me either. I don’t want to see your teeth. In fact, just mail me the bill after the job is done. And call to tell me if there’s anything I need to know. Ick. [/QUOTE] Sounds quite like a short story by (IIRC) Asimov or Clarke. ---

Our local hauler has “We’re #1 in the #2 business” on all of his honey wagons. Always gives me a chuckle when I see them on the highway. ---

Variations of the saying from the OP have gone the rounds among sewage (now wastewater) treatment plant operators. I’ve even seen it translated into Latin, although they used the word ‘oil’ on the grounds that ancient Latins did not use butter. ---
